London sources have reported that British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday rejected any plans that would mean a Brexit border between Northern Ireland and neighboring Irish Republic. Meanwhile when speaking to MPs in the House of Commons during her weekly questions, May said no British prime minister could ever agree to a Brexit treaty that would see borders dividing any parts of Britain.
Further when responding to a question by the Northern Ireland Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) MP David Simpson, May confirmed she will never agree to any trade borders between Northern Ireland and the rest of Britain. Moreover May said she stood by commitments she has made previously on the border issue.
Furthermore she said the draft legal text the European Commission had
published would, if implemented, threaten the constitutional integrity of
Britain by creating a customs and regulatory border down the Irish Sea, adding
that "No UK prime minister could ever agree to it." "She will be
making it crystal clear to (European Commission) President Jean-Claude Juncker
and others that we will never do so". Further May insisted there was no
disagreement with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on the Irish border question.
